Help needed!

[martelpypie]

I bought a set of wheels from CRC, after I fitted the tubeless strip I couldn't get any tire on the rims not even a normal non-ust tire.

 

Its hope pro2 hubs with Sun EQ21 rims and revolution spokes.

 

I want to keep my hubs but want to buy XM819 rims that are tubeless already, and I am sure all the tires will fit on a XM819 rim.

 

Problem is I don't know what length spokes to get and what kind of nipples???

 

 

Please Help!

Go to the DT swiss website and use their free spoke calculator.

A bit more tension in the wheels will bring the rim size down a bit and make the tyres easier to fit. However, getting Revolutions up to tension is a tough job.

 

In order to calculate the spoke lengths you need to tell us how many times the spokes will cross (3X or 2X) and whether the wheels are disc or rim braked.

 

You'll use the standard 9 or 12mm nipples that come with the spokes but you'll need special nipple adapters for the rims. Your Mavic dealer will get them for you.  Building with standard spokes on these Mavic rims look strange and not many people like the look.

I dont know how many times the spokes will cross but they cross on the build I have 8 times a side. Johan If I post you the wheels with the new rims will you build them over with standard aluminium nipples and revolution spokes??
